What is the PMBOK® Guide Current Reality? This topic is the subject of our first e-book on the Guide, part of 2-book series. The Four Myths is a chapter in this first e-book.
In this blog post we present a chapter from a 2-book series (e-books) that we are working on, PMBOK® Guide – Part 1 – Current Reality. This post focus on the historical perspective.
The world of project management is quite wide these days. There are projects in different types of organizations, from a variety of industries, and are of varying size or classification. Should we manage them all the same way?
Over the last twenty years, the PMBOK® Guide has been evolving with the growth of project management. The guide grew from nine knowledge areas to ten, from thirty-seven processes to forty-seven and from less than 200 pages to more than 600 pages.
We all know about project management plan. Those who study PMBOK(r) Guide know about the management plans (project or stage) consists of subsidiary plans for scope, cost, quality and all other topics.
Are most projects single phase or multiple phases? We ask this question because we often hear: “I am working on an IT project” or “I am working on a construction project”. Is there such thing?
Now that we have been debating the questions on: Do the PMBOK® Guide process groups repeat or are they project phases? And How many charters are there on a project? What do you think about the following? How many management plans are there on a project?
Is there one charter on a project or more? Is there one management plan or more? What are the process groups and how are they different from project phases. Many questions related to the PMBOK® Guide. Now – how many charters are there on a project?
Although project management is one of my passions and I have been in this domain close to 30 years; every once in a while I run into something online that make me say what the heck; how badly did PMI degrade project management. What is see often on online groups, make titles like #PMP for #Dummies...
Every time I am delivering a course or workshop on the PMBOK® Guide it is like love-hate relationship.
